It’s been a while, I know. But between buckling down to study for an online course I’m taking with IIN – the Institute for Integrative Nutrition – helping my mom out after a surgery, getting away for my fabulous, long-awaited for vacation, and traveling for work in between… Whew! It’s been a hectic eight weeks.

Some days flowed effortlessly. Others started out the worst days EVER (First World problems). Yet, every time I thought I saw a negative, I held fast to my old belief that “everything happens for a reason.” I simply had to find out that reason and look for the signs to turn in a better direction, and invite that redirect to occur. Fast.

I went from being on the verge of failure for non-participation to taking a proactive stance in my career future and being told I’m a natural at coaching others toward good health and wellness. When I sort of declared my unrequited love for someone and had it go unreturned, I didn’t look at it as rejection. I saw it as the impetus I needed to get my head out of the fantastical clouds and realize my true worth that someone, someday will truly appreciate, while allowing myself the freedom to finally invoke that perfect partner to come into my life and (re)connect with my heart. And then, as I was denied board on a flight through fatigue and neglect, blaming myself for missing a special opportunity to hear a treasured music play… one for which I’d pre-paid… the artist wrote to suggest I attend a personal sound healing with him, instead; an experience I’d wished for but previously thought impossible. Moments later, like fairy dust sprinkled on a dream, an appointment was scheduled at the magical hour of 2:22 pm, and I walked on air.

If there’s a moral to the story, it’s that we cannot always control what happens in our lives, but we have absolute control over how we react to those circumstances. What seems like the worst thing in the world one moment can free you up to receive the most amazing gift in the next. Just let go. Let go and acknowledge that there is a divine plan, and there are plans within plans of which we have no idea, but be open to the truth that Spirit/God/Allah/Yahweh/Source only wants you to be happy. Let go and create a space for that happy-ness to squeeze its way inside and light up your whole world. And since Light is Information, you will receive that inner message, that wonderful opportunity, or that amazing prize you truly deserve.
